Wilmington

In Wilmington, the 9/11 National Memorial Trail travels through the city along the Christina River corridor, linking Delaware’s trail network with routes extending north toward Pennsylvania and south toward Maryland. Entering Wilmington from the north, the route connects with segments of the East Coast Greenway, using river-adjacent paths and urban trail corridors that guide trail users through the city’s parks and waterfront districts. Through downtown and the riverfront, the memorial trail overlaps with portions of the Jack A. Markell Trail and connected riverwalk paths along the Christina River, providing a continuous off-road corridor between the Wilmington Riverfront and surrounding communities. Departing the city, the route continues south toward New Castle and the Delaware Bay while remaining connected to the broader regional trail system.
